reflector surface and thus blur the outline of the pattern; and quickly detachable unitary retaining means for fastening all said elements positively in assembled relationship.

5. A reflector for indirect illumination comprising a main body shaped to reflect the light from a suitably positioned source in a flood in a predetermined direction; said body having apertures occupying only a minor fraction of the area of said body and defining an ornamental tracery pattern; elements of translucent material removably covering said apertures and extending at least partly outside the same, said elements dissipating and diffusing the light passing through them sumciently to render its illuminating action negligible, whereby said elements when illuminated constitute an ornamental light pattern of such low intensity as to be noticeable but not brilliant, and comfortable for direct contemplation with the naked eye, and retaining means for fastening said elements to the reflector but permitting removal and replacement thereof.

6. Indirect illumination equipment comprising a light source; a reflector shaped to reflect the light from said source from the inner surface of said reflector in a flood in a predetermined direction; said reflector having apertures receiving light from said source; said apertures occupying only a minor fraction of the area of said reflector; removable diffusing means of translucent material intercepting all the light entering said apertures, whereby direct illumination through said apertures is completely out ofl; said difusing means being arranged in a tracery pattern lying along the outer reflector surface and being rendered luminous by the intercepted light but with such low intensity of illumination as to be noticeable but not brilliant, and comfortable for direct contemplation with the naked eye, under the conditions of illumination produced by the main flood of reflected light, and retaining means for fastening said material to the reflector, but permitting removal and replacement thereof.

7. Indirect illumination equipment comprising a light source; a reflector shaped to reflect the light from said source from the inner surface of said reflector in a flood in a predetermined direci with such low intensity of illumination as to be noticeable but not brilliant, and comfortable for direct-contemplation 'with the naked eye, under the conditions of illumination produced by the main flood of reflected light; said diffusing means 15 including portions protruding through said apertures, and,retaining means for fastening said material to the reflector, but permitting removal and replacement thereof.

8. Indirect illumination equipment comprising 20 a light source; a reflector shaped to reflect the light from said source from the innersurface of said reflector in a flood in a predetermined direction; said reflector having apertures receiving light from said source; said apertures occupying 25 only a minor fraction of the area of said reflector; removable diffusing means of translucent material intercepting all the light entering said apertures, whereby direct illumination through said apertures is completely out off; said diffus- 3 ing means being arranged in a tracery pattern lying along the outer reflector surface and being rendered luminous by the intercepted light but with such low intensity of illumination as to be noticeable but not brilliant, and comfortable for 35 direct contemplation with the naked eye, under the conditions of illumination produced by the main flood of reflected light; said diffusing means including portions protruding through the apertures of the reflector, and portions lying 40 outside the outer surface of the reflector to shed a halo on the adjacent reflector surface, and retaining means for fastening said material to the reflector, but permitting removal and replacement thereof. a 45 ARTHUR P.
